Abstract: The magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is an important interdisciplinary field. It is the interaction between an electromagnetic field
and an electrically conducting fluid. Electromagnetic pumps are widely used for the transportation of the fluids in a variety of
technological processes. The advantage of these devices is that permits the pumping of liquids without moving parts. The design
of the pump is considered as an optimization problem where the objective function is the minimum of the MHD pump mass with
both geometrical and electromagnetic contraints type. The obtained optimization results using the finite volume method with
Matlab software show the performances of the used stochastic simulated annealing method.
